Club career

San Lorenzo

Gaich had youth spells with Unión Bengolea, Sportivo Chazón, Atenas and Atlético Pascanas before joining San Lorenzo in 2014. [6] [7] Four years later, Gaich was promoted into their first-team under Claudio Biaggio, making his professional debut on 27 August 2018 during a draw with Unión Santa Fe; he had previously been an unused substitute in an Argentine Primera División fixture with Lanús and for a Copa Sudamericana game against Nacional. [2] [5] Gaich scored his first senior goal in the following September, netting the opener in a 3–2 win over Patronato; which preceded another two appearances later in the Copa Argentina versus Estudiantes. [5]

CSKA Moscow

On 17 July 2020, Gaich said goodbye to San Lorenzo supporters via Fox Sports' 90 Minutos de Fútbol ahead of a potential move to Russian football with CSKA Moscow. [8] On 30 July 2020, San Lorenzo confirmed the transfer. [9] On 5 August 2020, CSKA announced the signing of a 5-year contract. [10] He made his league debut off the bench against Khimki on 8 August, before starting for the first time in a defeat to Zenit Saint Petersburg on 19 August. [5] Gaich's first goal arrived on 22 October in a UEFA Europa League group stage draw away in Austria against Wolfsberger AC. [5] [11]

Loan to Benevento

On 29 January 2021, Gaich moved to Serie A club Benevento on loan. [12] [13] The deal includes an option to buy. [12] After sub appearances against Napoli and Hellas Verona, the centre-forward made his first start and scored his first goal in an away match versus Spezia on 6 March. [5] He netted again on 21 March to secure a 1–0 away victory over Juventus. [5]

Loan to Huesca

On 30 August 2021, Gaich switched teams and countries again after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with SD Huesca in the Spanish Segunda División. [14] He returned to CSKA for the 2022–23 season. [15]

Loan to Hellas Verona

On 31 January 2023, Hellas Verona welcomed Adolfo Gaich to the team, the Argentinian striker signed a temporary contract until 30 June 2023 on loan from CSKA Moscow. [16] Before going on loan, Gaich extended his contract with CSKA Moscow until the end of 2025. [17]

Loan to Çaykur Rizespor

On 14 September 2023, CSKA Moscow announced that Gaich extended his contract with CSKA to 2026 and moved on loan to Çaykur Rizespor in Turkey. [18]

On 13 August 2024, Gaich returned to Turkey and joined Antalyaspor on loan with an option to buy. [19]

International career

In 2018, Gaich was selected by the Argentina U20s for the L'Alcúdia International Tournament in Spain. [6] He scored three goals, one in Argentina's group opener with Venezuela and two on the next matchday against Murcia, in five appearances as his nation won the trophy. [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] In December, Gaich was picked for the 2019 South American U-20 Championship. [26] Another U20 call-up came in May 2019 as Fernando Batista called him up to his 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup squad. [27] He subsequently scored goals in Poland against South Africa, Portugal and Mali. [5] In the following months, Gaich made the U23s' squad for the 2019 Pan American Games. [28]

At the Pan American Games in Peru, Gaich netted twice on his debut in a 2–3 win over Ecuador; also assisting the other goal. [29] Further goals occurred versus Mexico and Panama, which preceded two in the semi-finals against Uruguay. [30] [31] Argentina won the final against Honduras, which gave Gaich a goal medal. [32] [33] Gaich was, soon after, selected by Lionel Scaloni's seniors for September friendlies with Chile and Mexico. [34] [35] He made his full international bow, aged twenty, in a 4–0 victory over Mexico at the Alamodome on 10 September, having remained on the bench against Chile days prior. [36]
